I dont know what is more unsettling , that these mannequins in a JP storefront have life like faces and smiles, or that most of them have disproportionately large breasts.window1

After a long time waiting in the wings the article about Brendan E. Quigley has been published in the August 12th 2009 issue of the Improper Bostonian. So go grab a copy!

I am a little bummed that one of the images I made did not make it to print, and even more bummed that the seam runs through the opener and typewriter, but all in all not too shabby. In hindsight it would have been cool to work on this up to last week or so, since the deadline was June 30 for film.
I have a lot going on photowise but nothing really worth talking about. Kind of in a creative hole at the moment.

Hey gang

It was finally time to take that old, out dated, dusty website down and begin work on a shiny new, slimmed down model. I have begun making web galleries of the work from the old site, along with some newer stuff, to keep up a web pressence other than this blog. You may find the first easy to use flash gallery at HERE

OR YOU CAN GO TO:

I will be creating a gallery for current Artwork this weekend and will post the link when it is live.

Here are the final images for the upcoming- in 2 weeks- issue of the Improper Bostonian. Brendan Emett Quigley is his name and puzzles are his game folks. He makes and sells his puzzles to a lot of publications including the NY Times, so if you are a crossword buff, look for his name.

As always, Enjoy

Here is my latest published image. Portrait of Jared Mancini, Owner of “SIP” located in Post Office Square ( That is in Boston’s Financial Distrcit for you non residents)

Yeah, I know it is not really my look, but time constraints and no assistant made getting crazy with this one a little tough. My scan of this wasnt very good so please disregard any flaws. Better yet, get up and go pick up the 6/10/09 issue of the IMPROPER BOSTONIAN, my image is on page 11 as you can see.

I have another portrait to shoot for the end of the month of a guy who writes crossword puzzles which should be pretty cool.

Also in this issue is work from Heather McGrath and Peter Tanannbaum.

Hey gang,
So I got what I am told is going to be the image published as the “Impulses” opener in the next issue of the Improper Bostonian. It is posted below. Photo is of David Hacin, a prominent Architect who has designed many buildings in Boston’s South End and who has just won an award for his design of FP3 in Fort Point ( location in Boston for all you out of towners), where the image was taken. I had to pull an all nighter to get the Polaroids scanned and through post production/FTP’ing to the magazine. Hope you dig it.
